Pearls. You should take up photography, or a course in illustration, with the time you waste trolling for attention.

Ed White, doing the space walk in the photo in the link above, was one of my cousins.

I was waiting for the “he/she was related to me” meme. Is Ed still alive and willing to answer some questions?

In the meantime, what does Ed think of the fact that NASA suddenly considers the moon to be part of the earth's atmosphere?

I.e. NASA trying to cover up the problem of their former “complete deep space vacuum” where there is no such thing as combustion or gas pressure in a vacuum?

Here is an excellent article that explain the real motive behind NASA’s recent declaration that the “moon is in the earth's atmosphere”...LOL

Re: Does Rocketry Work in the Vacuum?

The reason space travel is not possible is because the systems we claim to use to propel a rocket through space operate on gas pressure and there is no gas pressure in space.

Gas pressure requires molecules to be in contact with each other, bouncing off each other, causing millions of collisions per second, etc…

If you release gas into the vacuum of space, the first molecule that pops out will shoot off into the distance at a constant speed, so will the one behind that, never catching up with the first one.

The third, fourth, etc… all fly off into the distance trying to fill the vacuum by finding their empty corner.

So no matter how much gas you produce none of it will ever change the pressure under a space ship. None it if will ever push a spaceship.

To push a spaceship there must be some locally high pressure under it, which is impossible since the pressure in space is 0 everywhere.

Back the the Nozzle and the Massflow equation F=MA on earth

Think about a fire hose shooting water. A force comes directly back against the column of water shooting out. Why?

Because the first drop of water has to pas through air, which is dense, causing many collisions, slowing down the drop of water. The second drop, directly behind the first, will not be slowed down by the air so it will collide with the first drop, the third drop hits the second drop and so on, the fast water coming through the hose pushing through the slower water outside causes Newton’s 3rd Law to push back on the column of water.

This is why you need people holding the hose to add an unbalanced force otherwise the hose would not be able to push water through that column anymore, the water column would be diverted and the hose would flop around. It is obvious that one drop of water does not push back on the hose, you need a fast moving column.

The nozzle and the Massflow equation in space

Since the molecules leaving the combustion chamber and entering the vacuum never slow down, never collide with any outside objects, nor with each other, their force is always moving forward, away from the ship. There is no way for that force to be returned to the ship. There is no way for the force of the moving molecules to be extracted and used for propulsion. Their force is carried off into the far corners of space.

This is also known as Joule Expansion.

Remember that as soon as the nozzle is opened, the combustion chamber becomes part of the vacuum of space as is subject to its laws. A closed chamber is under pressure but not an open one.

NASA is lying at the molecular level

But that’s OK because most people don’t usually look there. The awesome, spectacular and heroic nature of space exploration is enough to cloud the most logical minds.

Most respectable engineering schools won’t touch space flight and those who do have tiny departments. If it was really a multi-billion dollar government funded operation, every school in America would have their hands out for government grants like the do with Engineering, Computer Science and Biology.

But why train thousands of the best minds of a generation in a field that doesn't exist?

He was an alumnus of my high school in Washington, DC, Western HS, class of ‘48, a bronze plaque honors him there...or did before it became Duke Ellington HS for Performing Arts.
